Beauraing walks

Set off to explore the Beaurinoise countryside in the Wimbe valley between Pondrôme, Honnay and Revogne, with a few passages through the forest.The route is mainly on open terrain and on paths or small country roads with little traffic.It offers some beautiful panoramic views from the heights.

First, follow the wild Houille valley. After a steep climb, you will discover two typical Ardennes villages and descend through the woods and along the Hiek stream to Vencimont.

This hike offers a panoramic view of the heights of Givet, from the Houille River to the Belgian border

With sections in the countryside offering magnificent panoramic views of the Famenne and Calestienne regions and beautiful forest sections alternating between deciduous and coniferous trees, this long circular walk is one of the 2025 proposals from the Wellin Tourist Office. It is part of a series comprising a large circular 50 km and four other smaller circular ones, including this one.It is worth noting that the circular route passes through Sohier, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, with its pretty stone houses: don't miss the old village hall/school, the church and the castle.

This long walk, which is mostly through forest for just over half of the route, starts behind the imposing church of Lomprez with its turrets. The old village mill is nearby. While the street-facing building and its dormer window (whose pulley has disappeared) are in good condition, the rear and the old wheel are in need of restoration. There are a few difficulties on this route: see the "description" box.

Lavaux-Saint-Anne is an ideal place to start a hike that is half countryside, half forest, not only in Famenne but also in Calestienne. The route offers beautiful panoramic views of the Famenne depression. The Château de Lavaux-Sainte-Anne is listed as a major heritage site in Wallonia. It is open to visitors and features 32 furnished and decorated rooms, 3 themed museums, a wetland area and a deer park.Revogne Castle is not open to visitors but is clearly visible on arrival in the village from the other side of the Wimbe. The route passes through the old gate of the medieval enclosure and the small church located on the hillside below the castle. The third historical gem of the hike is the imposing building of the Ferme d'Esclaye. However, the castle is not visible from public paths.

While Houyet and the surrounding area are well known for the Lesse and kayaking (in season) on this iconic Walloon river, the charm of the surrounding countryside and forests also make it an excellent place for hiking. This circular route takes you around Hour, one of the villages in the area, and offers beautiful panoramic views of the entire region from the heights.

A hike with a slight elevation gain, mostly on passable paths. The route is perfectly feasible with children, but not with pushchairs. Only the first 800 metres are on the road, after which there are only paths reserved for pedestrians, cyclists and possibly horse riders.

On the border between the Condroz and the Famenne, Falmagne is located on a plateau overlooking the Lesse. Discover the Aiguilles de Chaleux and Walzin Castle via the Furfooz Park.

A challenging walk from the Cascatelles waterfalls to the arduous climb up to the ruins of Château Thierry, passing by the Roule stream on the way up. Medium version: HERE

From the ruins of Château Thierry to the Cascatelles, passing by the Drapeau viewpoint and the banks of the Meuse.

From Falmignoul, descend via the Chemin du Crestia, followed by a short walk along the Meuse before returning to the village via the enchanting Cascatelles trail.

A very beautiful tour along narrow paths, with beautiful views, steep slopes, high cliffs and lots of beautiful nature. Sturdy shoes are required, as well as a camera, as there are many photo opportunities. Have fun :)

Follow in the footsteps of the Belgian royal family on this walk around Villers-sur-Lesse. Located on the Royal Donation estate (former royal properties), this circular takes you on a tour of various buildings: Villers Royal Farm, Villa Léopold, House of the Counts of Cunchy, Villers-sur-Lesse Castle, Ciergnon Castle, Queen Astrid Chapel. You will also have the opportunity to observe the typical landscapes of Famenne: fields, grasslands, forests and hills.

Starting from the beautiful Château de Vêves, set off to explore the meanders of the Lesse and visit the magnificent villages of Furfooz and Celles (selected as among the most beautiful villages in Wallonia).

Set off to explore the natural, wild and rugged surroundings of the Hermeton by following it upstream to the Moulin de Soulme. The return journey takes you along small country roads, forest paths and trails where you can admire the landscape of the Meuse valley and its farmland.

Despite the first few kilometres being very easy, make no mistake, this walk still requires some stamina with a section featuring handrails along the Hermeton and the climb up the aptly named Tienne d'Enfer (Hell's Hill).

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were around ten water crossings on the Meuse between Givet and Namur. After the railway line between Givet and Dinant was opened in 1863, the water crossing – which was then in operation in both summer and winter – enabled the inhabitants of Falmagne and Falmignoul to cross the Meuse to catch the train at Waulsort.The Waulsort water crossing is the only one still in operation, but only during the (good) tourist season.

This long circular takes you on a journey of discovery along the Meuse and Lesse rivers in one of the most beautiful parts of their course, with impressive rocks and splendid castles. Mainly wooded but also a little rural on the heights of Falmignoul, it does not present any major difficulties and is ideal for families.

Set off from Graide on a circular walk to Gedinne. Stop for a bite to eat at L'Hôtel de la Poste, a high-quality restaurant. Enjoy the varied landscapes before returning to Graide via a different path. Remember to check the restaurant's opening hours.
